  • Patent number: 8227636
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to prodrugs of hydroxamic acid based histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, e.g., suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). The prodrugs are acylated derivatives having increased aqueous solubility and cellular permeability as compared with the free hydroxamic acid, and are useful for inhibiting HDACs, and for selectively inducing terminal differentiation, cell growth arrest and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the prodrugs of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The prodrugs of the invention are also useful in the prevention and treatment of thioredoxin (TRX)-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract: The invention provides a composition in concentrated form (“the concentrate”) for dilution with water in the preparation of an agricultural composition for application to crops, soil or animals, comprising a carbohydrate-based pH modifying agent and a pH indicator. The agricultural composition comprises an agricultural chemical whose agricultural activity varies with the pH of the water. The proportions of the pH indicator and the pH modifying agent in the concentrate are selected so that when the concentrate is diluted with an appropriate amount of water, the pH indicator indicates visually by colouration of the composition, whether or not the pH of the water is suitable for acceptable agricultural activity of the chemical. The invention also provides a process for preparing the agricultural composition by mixing the concentrate with water, and adding the agricultural chemical to the composition, if it is not already present in the concentrate.
